Description

The 1865 Proof Three Cent Pattern - J-415 is a proof three-cent piece struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Civil War Patterns (1860-1865) series. Although listed in the references as a trial of the regular silver three-cent dies, USPatterns describes it as a backdated piece made from about 1869 into the early 1870s to complete off-metal sets sold with the In God We Trust quarter, half dollar and dollar. It is struck in copper with a plain edge; USPatterns rates it R-7. Catalogued as Judd-415, Pollock-487, A/W 510. Cataloged as PCGS #60597.
